8月13日，国务院台办举行例行新闻发布会，发言人朱凤莲答记者问。有记者问，美国对台加征20% 的"对等关税"，高于日韩的15%税率。赖清德当局称，关税税率还可以谈，可能会加码对美投资4000亿 美元。有岛内舆论指出，"20%+N"叠加关税加上台币大幅升值，未来台湾可能继续"失血"，岛内相关产 业将受重创，岛内经济动能将全面熄火。对此有何评论？ 朱凤莲表示，近期台湾民众和业界很失望的 是，面对美方霸凌加征关税、蓄意操弄新台币升值，民进党当局不仅没有维护台湾民众切身利益，反而 加大"跪美媚美"，"卖台"无底线，对美国的巨额勒索毫不吝啬、拱手相送。4000亿美元相当于台湾年度 GDP的一半。让台湾老百姓作何感想？ 朱凤莲强调，面对外部风险和不确定性上升，台湾本可以通过 加强两岸经济合作、深化两岸融合发展，不断强化台湾产业韧性，夯实经济发展基础，增强抵御风险能 力，但民进党当局出于"倚外谋独"邪念，罔顾岛内经济民生，出卖台湾发展利益，让台湾民众与企业深 蒙其害。正告民进党当局，输诚得不到好处，跪美没有出路。（人民日报） ...
